Developer Favorites!

On Monday, we spoke with beta testers to find out which power set was their favorite. But what about the developers? What do the creators of Champions Online like best about the powers? Read on to find out!

Fire. Let's face it: burning things is awesome. Fire has a pretty lethal combination of AoE abilities that make it the perfect choice for melting most baddies."- Vulajin, Operations & QA Engineer

Power Armor. I’ve always liked power armored characters even when I played pencil and paper Champions. And the power set in the game not only represents many of the classic concepts of a hero in a high-tech suit of heavily armed futuristic battle-armor, it also has a great play mechanic. With all of its toggles and unique tricks, playing a character with power armor feels a bit like you’re really controlling a complex piece of machinery. And when have the timing down right and fully master all of the interactions, it’s devastating!" – Brian Gilmore, Staff Game Designer

Classic Munitions with Flight. What could be cooler than sniping from the clouds, then taking a nose dive down into the fray with guns blazing?" – Noel "Destra" Holmes, Lead Game Master

Sorcery. I’ve always loved magic and occult-themed superheroes, like Dr. Strange, John Constantine, and Hellboy. I’ve got a whole collection of their figures on the shelves in my office." – Randy "Arkayne" Mosiondz, Senior Game Designer

Fire!!! Fire is easy to understand, easy to use, and can grow to be a devastating DPS build." – Mike Apolis, Lead Environment Artist
